This poll is out-dated already. Obama approval is now at 54%.

Anybody else noticed the clear Gallup trend - coming out the weekend Obama approval drops to 50% only to recover again to 53-54% going into the weekend? These dates cover last weekend. Now back to 54 just like clockwork. This happens every week.

Anyone else sick of the whole race relations and the perpetual saturation of the race issue by the media?

Conspiracy, it's been that way even going back to the election. The explanation most often given is that more old people are at home on the weekends who are less likely to like Obama.

And younger people are out. Makes sense.

America does not agree with the view of the most staunch Obama supporters that we are in some sort of race war now that a black man is President.
